Best choices: statistical and quantitative analysis, and spreadsheet software.

- Statistical and quantitative analysis teaches survey/design methods, sampling, hypothesis testing, and how to interpret results — core primary-research skills.
- Spreadsheet software (Excel, Google Sheets) is essential for data entry, cleaning, basic analysis, and charting results from primary data collection.

Notes:
- Library science is more focused on finding and organizing existing information (secondary research), though it can help with literature reviews and reference skills.
- Literature, history, and biographies give useful context and insight but don’t build primary research techniques.
